Chapter 960

"There are assassins!"

When Feng Guanshi had seen such a scene, he cried out: "come on! Come on, there's an assassin

Feng Guanshi's heart is cold. He doesn't know martial arts at all. The imperial concubine took two servant girls and Ren Zinan with her. This time, I'm afraid, is not good

The four masked men lowered their bodies and suddenly accelerated, approaching Nangong Yue like a black leopard.

Lily one side comes forward, one side way: "cousin, you protect the son concubine." Then a whip was whipped out, like a snake out of the hole, and wrapped up a masked man, and then with a wave of the big arm, the other side was thrown out.

At the same time, the ghost like Xiao dark did not know when he also appeared in the mixed situation. He had already kicked over a masked man without waving his sword.

The head of the masked man's pupil shrank, held up his sword in his hand, and raised his voice and ordered, "all of you! You will be rewarded for killing the princess! "

Sure enough, it's for yourself! Nangong Yue looked awe inspiring and thought: who sent these people? These are the people she has offended recently

"Yes, boss!" The other three masked people cheered in unison.

Two masked men were attacked by Xiao dark, while the other rushed to the south palace with a silver sword like a poisonous snake spitting letters.

"By you?" Lily disdains to sneer, is a whip to swing, accurately rolled up the neck of the other side, she slightly applied force, suddenly tightened.

"Whoosh!" A cold arrow suddenly shot from a tree, as fast as a meteor, the target is the lily.

When Baihui saw it, she cried out: "lily, be careful!"

Lily hurried to hide, but her opponent suddenly grabbed her whip and made her move pause for a moment When you fight, it takes only a short moment to decide the outcome and life

Baihui's face turned white with fright. Seeing that the cold arrow was about to be stabbed, a gray figure suddenly strode forward and grabbed Lily's arm and turned around. It was only an inch away that the cold arrow narrowly passed by Lily's side, which made Lily's cold sweat unavoidably.

She felt that she had lost her face this time. She was so angry that she cut the masked man's neck with a knife and knocked him unconscious.

With a loud bang, a shadow fell from the big tree just now and fell heavily on the ground. Then Xiao Ying lightly jumped down from the tree, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "lily, don't thank you."

Lily gave him a bad look and thought: who should thank you!

At the same time, Xiao dark also solved the other two masked men, and there was only the first masked man left.

It turns out that there are dark guards around the princess! Feng Guanshi, who was uneasy on one side, was finally relieved and his face softened.

Seeing that several of his subordinates were subdued, the head masked man's pupil shrank violently. His face under the black veil was as white as paper. He instinctively turned around and wanted to run away. But Xiao Ying could not allow it. His figure flashed and appeared in front of him.

"Say, who sent you?" Xiao Ying looked at him with a smile. It seemed that he was a familiar old friend, but in the eyes of the masked man, he was like a vulture aiming at its prey.

The masked man retreated two steps, but heard a cold hum of disdain coming from the rear. Xiao dark did not know when he appeared behind him.

The masked man wanted to hide in another direction, but Xiao dark had already struck him faintly.

Xiao Ying complained: "Xiao dark, how did you knock him out? He hasn't made a move yet..."

His words were quickly swallowed back in Xiao an's cold eyes, and had been together for more than ten years. Even if Xiao didn't say anything, Xiao Ying understood what he meant: the duty of the dark guard is to protect the safety of the imperial concubine. It's up to Princess Shizi and Zhu Xing to interrogate something.

Xiao Ying reluctantly bent down to tear off the face scarves on those masked faces one by one, pointed to the ordinary faces that could not be remembered in the crowd and asked, "can you recognize these people, imperial concubine?" Xiao Ying is just like this, just in case. In fact, even if Nangong Yue knows the mastermind behind the scenes, he is unlikely to know these killers.

Nangong Yue quickly swept a circle, shook his head, "do not know."

Then Xiao dark arched his hand and asked, "shizifei, three of these five killers died, and two fell into a coma. How does the princess want to deal with it?"

Nangong Yue pondered for a moment, and then ordered Feng Guanshi to take the three corpses to Jingzhao yamen, explain the story clearly, and then pointed to two unconscious men in Black: "these two people will take back to liuhezhuang first."

Xiao Yi's identity is somewhat awkward. Although it's harmless to deal with these people in private, it's better to take a clear path in the future if it is inevitable to become a handle.

After this absolutely not happy episode, nangongyue was not in the mood to see the wasteland in the back mountain, and they all went back to the house together.

Nangong Yue's identity is really too eye-catching. After a while, the story of Princess Shizi's being assassinated spread all over liuhezhuang like wildfire.Fu Yunyue went back to Fu Yunyue's palace, and he went up and down to Fu Yunyue's palace, and he went up and down to Fu Yunyue's palace and took charge of Yanliu's right to join him in front of him She said to herself, "I should be with you."

Zhu Xing saw that Nangong Yue was safe and sound, and finally he was relieved, "princess, fortunately you are OK." If the princess had a chance, he would have to bear the blame for his death, and he could not explain it to the shiziye who was far away in southern Xinjiang!

"I'm fine, but..."

Nangong Yue several words said in the hearts of the people a tight, she saw to Ren Zinan, way: "hundred flowers, take some gold sore medicine to a LAN."

Acne medicine? Lily was stunned, fixed eyes, which found that Ren Zinan's left arm has a faint bloodstain, eyes slightly open. He was injured? Was it at that time

She couldn't help but think that if Ren Zinan had not opened her in time, she would have been hurt a lot this time. However, she did not even find that the other side was injured.

Lily some embarrassed to droop eyes, well, this time, she owed him one! I will pay it back if I have a chance.

Baihui asked people to take the scissors, skillfully cut Ren Zinan's sleeve and apply medicine and bandage for him At this time, there was a noise and a disorderly footstep outside the hall. It was getting closer and closer. After a while, David Chu and a group of veterans walked into the hall in a hurry. Their faces could not hide their anxiety, especially David Chu.

It was not until he saw Ren Zinan sitting on the armchair safely that David Chu breathed a sigh of relief, calmed himself and said, "ah LAN, I heard that you are injured? Are you all right? " There is a trace of complexity in David Chu's expression. He never thought that nangongyue was assassinated on the first day Ren Zinan served as a guard for nangongyue

"Dad, I'm fine." Ren Zi Nan touched the wound that had just been bandaged up and said without caring, "it's just a little bruise."

When David Chu was relieved, he could not help but look at the old min beside him. The injury made David Chu worried about whether he had made a mistake. Perhaps not only did he not ease his companion's fear of shiziye, but also

As expected, David's face became heavy and gloomy.

But soon, he realized that there was something wrong with Lao min's expression. He looked at one of the men in black who was unconscious on the ground.

David Chu asked tentatively, "what's wrong, old min?"

"I know him I know him... " Old min murmured, his body trembled slightly with excitement. Suddenly, his burning eyes suddenly looked at David Chu, pointing to the man in black with a short beard on the ground, "Lao Chu, did you forget him?"

A word from Lao min immediately attracted everyone's attention. Nangong Yue slightly raised his eyebrows and followed his gaze. The man in black seemed to be in his early 40s, with dark skin and a hooked nose. He had short whiskers in his middle and lower jaw, but he was very strong.

If Lao min knew him, he should be

Nangong Yue slightly narrowed his eyes if he was thoughtful and ordered: "Xiao Ying, pour him awake."

"Yes, princess." Xiao Ying was originally feeling bored. When Nangong Yue ordered him, his eyes suddenly brightened and his spirit was restored.

It's the twelfth lunar month now, so I don't worry about getting "cool" water.

"Crash!"

The icy cold water poured on the head of the man in black with short beard. He shivered violently and opened his eyes suddenly. His eyes were a little confused, as if he didn't know where he was, but soon his pupils shrank suddenly and was about to jump up, but Xiao Ying stepped on his chest with a smile and tried to exert himself downward.

The man in black twisted his face with pain and said in a loud voice, "spare your life, young master! Spare your life, young master! A small one is just taking money from others and eliminating disasters with others! "

"Is it?" Nangong Yue said faintly, "but I think someone here knows you."

The man in black is "cluttering" in his heart. There should not be many people who have seen him here The next moment, he saw a wrinkled old face in his eyes. The other party's turbid eyes were staring at him, and the hatred in his eyes was almost overflowing!

How could it be this old thing! The man in black had a dark way, and his face was as gray as death. This time I'm afraid I can't escape

Old min seemed to want to eat him like, said: "I know you, in the past year you came to see cattle manager twice!" Every time I was quietly in the back mountain

The three words "Niu Guan Shi" are like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pan. The mood of dozens of veterans in and outside the hall exploded in an instant, followed by several veterans saying:

"I remember! He did come to see the cow steward

"It seems to be in the back mountain..."

"Now he's here to assassinate the princess..."

“……”

The more the veterans said, the more excited they became. They finally understood and finally convinced that Niu Guanshi had nothing to do with shiziye. Shiziye really wanted to support them!

At this moment, the veteran's mood is very complicated, they really wronged the son of a son!Nangong Yue also had some feelings in his heart, which was really "no intention to insert willows into the shade". Unexpectedly, the cattle steward wanted to get rid of her, but let her have an unexpected harvest.

"Is it the cattle steward who sent you to kill the imperial concubine?" Zhu Xing was so angry that he was so bold. He said in his heart that he was really brave. With the support of Xiao Fang, they were lawless!

Zhu Xing could not help but think of the fact that they had Qian Moyang and his party chased by Xiao Fang for thousands of Li. If they had not been lucky, they would have been killed by Xiao Fang's hand. However, several of his companions entrusted by the old lord had already died.

At the thought of his dead companions, Zhu Xing's heart was burning with hatred.

The man in black snorted coldly, ignoring Zhu Xing, but said, "since you have caught me, you can kill me as you like!" He knew very well in his heart that if he called out the cow steward, not to mention the cow steward, I'm afraid it was Princess Xiao Fang's family that could not bypass him!

Looking at him so hard, Xiao Ying clapped heavily: "admire, admire, really a man!" Then he looked at Zhu Xing with a smile. "Housekeeper Zhu, I heard that there are many ways to make prisoners confess in your army. Why don't you teach me and let me have a long insight?"

Zhu Xing immediately understood his intention, and coldly hooked the corner of his mouth and said, "speaking of torture, the most severe torture in our army of Dayu is nothing more than dismembering the body or cutting the waist. This is not comparable to that of Nanman. It is said that Nanman has a kind of torture, which is called skin peeling. The method is to bury a living person in the soil and expose only one head outside Cut a cross with a knife on the top of your head. After pulling off the scalp, you pour silver into it. If the mercury keeps falling down, you will naturally pull the flesh away from the skin It is said that people buried in the earth would feel like death in pain at that time, but they could not get rid of it. Finally, their bodies would climb out of their heads "naked", leaving only one piece of skin in the soil. I haven't tried it. Why don't you try it today? "

The man in black had already heard that there was no trace of blood on his face, and he was shaking all over

"It's a man who would rather die than surrender." Xiao Ying said while grabbing one of his legs, but the next moment he smelled a foul smell of urine. The man in black was scared out of control and said in a panic: "I move! My move is that Niu is not willing to be occupied by the imperial concubine No, it was Liu Hezhuang who took it back. Then he abused his nephew and ordered the younger ones to assassinate the imperial concubine Please spare your life

The people in the hall could not help covering their noses. Although Zhu Xing had already guessed the reason, he still felt that there was a rush of anger on his head when he said this. He really wanted to cut this man to pieces. Zhu Xing took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions. Seeing Nangong Yue waving his hand, Zhu Xing said to Xiao Ying and Xiao secretly: "take care of these two people first, and then take them back to the palace for custody."

"Yes, Princess!"

When the two men in black were brought down by Xiao Ying and Xiao dark, only Nangong Yue and the group of veterans were left in the hall.

The veterans looked at each other, and all of a sudden, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Nangong Yue.

"What are you doing? Get up. " Nangong Yue even said, "I can't stand you like this!"

Old min knelt on the ground, clasped his fist and said: "princess, we are stupid, we were blinded by the stepprincess, we almost misunderstood the son of the world, but also ruined the reputation of the son of the world!"

Lao min's expression is extremely complicated. Over the years, Xiao Fang's superficial skills have been so good that they are really grateful to her, and even listen to her one-sided words. They always think that the dandies are useless and hopeless Even if they were brought to Wangdu, it was because of Xiao Fang's pity that the son of heaven had no choice but to do it. Only when they arrived at the Wangdu, they did so.

Lao min took a deep breath, but still could not calm down.

At the thought of Lao Wang Ye's expectation of shiziye when he was alive, Lao min's eyes flashed a strange light.

Nangong Yue stood up and said cautiously, "the son of the world is not the same thing. He took you with good intentions, but he did not settle you well. It was his fault. Fortunately, it's not too late. Everybody, get up. "

The veterans looked at each other and finally stood up from the ground.

Nangong Yue asked them about their situation and talked with them one by one It was not until half an hour later that the veterans gradually dispersed, leaving only David Chu and Lao min.

Nangong Yue said to Chu Dawei with a smile: "Uncle Chu, thanks to your family ah LAN today, otherwise my servant girl Lily will be lying on the bed for a while."

Lily's face was embarrassed and her head was so low that she could almost touch her shoes. Oh, who let her be too careless!

Chu David laughed and clapped Ren Zinan on the shoulder and said, "it's good that he can help."

"Ah Lan's skill is really good." "Especially I feel his ear power is very strong

"Princess, you have a good taste." David Chu smiles with pride, "ah LAN used to be a scout, and his ability to listen to the wind and distinguish his position is very good..." As he said this, he felt a bit sorry. If it had not been for the arm of Alan, he would not have fallen into the present situation.However, with the rapid changes in the battlefield, it is lucky that Alan can recover a life.

David Chu thought of something, calmed down, and said: "princess, I heard that the prince recently defeated the Nanman in southern Xinjiang, and has taken back half of the city. It's really gratifying. The son of a son is worthy of being brought up by the old prince himself. It's really like the old prince in those days! " As he said this, not only did David Chu admire and miss him, but also the old min beside him. In his muddy eyes, he seemed to think of the heroic demeanor of the old Zhennan king when he galloped on the battlefield.

"It's a pity I didn't get to see my grandfather." Nangong Yue also had some feelings.

If a person can leave such a strong color in his subordinates and soldiers, he must be a hero of a generation. He must be a famous general, such as the dead old Zhennan king, or the officer Ruyan general

"Uncle Chu, why don't you go with me to the palace with ah LAN?" Nangong Yue suggested.

When Nangong Yue mentioned this, Ren Zinan's eyes suddenly showed the light of expectation, but David Chu was a little hesitant. He, an old cripple, didn't make trouble for his son?

However, Lao min suddenly said, "Lao Chu, you can go with ah LAN. Ah LAN has said that he will support the elderly for you. If you stay here, he will not be at ease. "

David Chu hesitated, but finally nodded.

At this time, Feng Guanshi walked into the hall and reported: "princess, the three bodies have been sent to the Yamen of Jingzhao mansion. I don't know if there is anything else I can tell you? "

Nangong Yue pondered for a while and said to Lao min and Chu Dawei, "I don't know if you would like to accompany me to walk around the wasteland in the back mountain?"

On hearing this, both min and David Chu could not hide their surprise, but before saying anything, Feng Guanshi could not help but persuade him: "princess, you just suffered a stab..."

Nangong Yue raised his hand and motioned to him to be silent. He said with a disapproval smile: "if this is such a small matter, I will stay at home and sleep at night? That is to let those little people succeed

"Ah Yue, you said it well!" Fu Yunyan clapped his hands and praised, "you can't let a villain do what you want. I will go with you to see which one does not have long eyes and dare to do harm to you! "

"Liuniang, I'll depend on you." Nangong Yue eyebrows and eyes curved, free and easy to smile.

It seems that the previous assassination did not leave a shadow in her heart. Lao min and Chu David couldn't help but look at each other. They heard that the princess was the legitimate daughter of Nangong aristocratic family. The girl from Wenchen's family had such a woman's bearing and momentum. No matter what his personality and temperament are, it's really a blessing for him to have such a good wife!

In this way, the people went back to the mountain wasteland again, but this time, the team was different from before, and became a bit mighty. Not only Zhu Xing and the guards of the palace followed, but also the guards in Chuang Tzu were called by Guan Shi Feng, who was like a frightened bird. He followed him, for fear of any accident.

The half reclaimed wasteland is behind the village. Before that, the villagers all said "wasteland in the back mountain". Nangong Yue thought it was a terrace, but he didn't want it to be a large flat land next to the back mountain. At a glance, he saw that the land was covered with a thin layer of white snow, which made people's eyes dazzled.

But it hasn't snowed recently, hasn't it? Nangong Yue blinked and suddenly thought of something. He looked back at the village and said in surprise, "is this bittern?" The so-called brine land, also known as saline alkali land, is the land with too much salt. The snow like crystals on the surface of the land are the salt particles precipitated from the soil.

"Yes, it's saline land." Feng Guanshi Diansha said, "shizifei is really well-informed!"

"I've only seen it in books," Nan Gong Yue crouched down in surprise and lifted up some soil mixed with white crystals through a square of handkerchief. If you get water sincerely, you can make ten stones per mu. " It seems that this Niu steward really has some insight, but he has a bad idea.

David Chu explained in a voice: "the cattle manager originally planned to build a channel to bring the river in front of him to irrigate the brine field and silt it into good farmland after the spring of next year."

After meditating for a moment, Nangong Yue said to Feng Guanshi: "if we can turn the wasteland into good farmland, it will be beneficial to the people, and it can be continued. Now that there is no time for farming, you might as well hire the green tenants in the village to continue to reclaim this wasteland. It's good to pay them 30% higher than the market price if they open up the wasteland and work hard. They can also have two meals. "

"Yes. The princess. " Mr. Feng responded quickly. With such favorable conditions, he believed that tenants would surely flock to it.

The old min, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "princess, can you also hire US veterans?"

Not only Nangong Yue, Feng Guanshi and others were also surprised. They didn't expect Lao min to make such a request, but David Chu understood Lao min's mood. Old min continued: "in fact, we veterans still have some strength. We are very busy in this farm every day. It's better to find something to do and have some fun in life."

They are not people who like leisure and hate work. If the cattle management only allowed them to open up wasteland, they were not as good as animals. How could people not hate them."If you want to, I'll welcome you more than I can." Nangong Yue said with a smile that he hoped these veterans could find a life suitable for them in this liuhezhuang.

What I fear most in life is that there is no hope and expectation, which will only turn into a pool of stagnant water

It was a busy and full day. When the sun moved westward, Nangong Yue and his party finally prepared to go back to the palace.

When they came, they were light and simple, but when they went back, they were mighty. Not only were there many more people, but also there were two more carriages. Feng Guanshi and the tenants in Zhuangzi sent nangongyue a lot of farm property and game. They had two full carriages.

The old soldiers all ran to see them off. After Nangong Yue said goodbye to them, just as he was about to get on the carriage, Lao min suddenly said, "princess, can I speak to you alone?"

Baihui frowns slightly, remembering that the old min had always been hostile to Nangong Yue, and felt that it was not right.

Nangong Yue was a little surprised, but he still nodded: "of course you can." Two people walk side by side, go forward, behind the Baihui and Lily has been staring at Lao min's every move.

Of course, old min also felt the alert sight of two little girls, but he didn't care. After a moment's silence, he suddenly asked, "princess, I only saw him a few times when he was a child. Later on, he listened to outsiders' hearsay about him Can you tell me what kind of person he is

Nangong Yue felt more surprised. He didn't expect that Lao min stopped her just to ask Xiao Yi.

What kind of person is Xiao Yi?

Nangong Yue thought about it for a while, and then she started talking about the first time she met Xiao Yi when she was nine years old Talking about how he was assassinated by Cheng Bo, whom he regarded as a relative; about the marks left on his face by the king of Zhennan; about being left as a proton in Wangdu; about Cheng Yu and Zhu Xing who were chased and killed by killers sent by Xiao Fang; and about the emperor's fear of him and Zhennan Wangfu

Although it was only four and a half years ago, there were so many things happened. The scenes of the past flashed quickly before Nangong Yue's eyes. Although her voice was still calm as if she was talking about the affairs of outsiders, her heart was turbulent and her eyes were more sour.

Yi, how are you in southern Xinjiang?

I miss you!

Nangong Yue raised his chin slightly and looked up at the sky dyed red in the West and held back his tears.

After a while, she calmed down, took a deep breath, turned to Lao min and said, "it's not early, I should go, otherwise..."

Her words did not go on, but Lao min took out an envelope from his arms. The envelope should have been for many years. The paper was yellow, and even the creases on it were worn. It seemed that he had been repeatedly examined and rubbed in his hands for many years.

Lao min's expression was very dignified. He carefully put the trust in his hands and bowed his head to nangongyue and said, "shizifei, this is the legacy of the old prince to shiziye!"

Even Nangong Yue was shocked by this sentence for a while, but he couldn't return to God. He almost doubted that he had heard things.

She tried to calm herself and took the letter. She didn't open it. She just looked at the big words on the envelope: Sun Yiqi.

Old min looked up at Nangong Yue and said slowly, "in those days, the old Nanwang felt that his days were not many, but he was still young at that time. Xiao Fang looked good to him, but he didn't know what he would do for her own son in the future The old prince was really worried, so he made a lot of preparations. On the one hand, he left some hands and property for the prince. On the other hand, he gave this letter to me, and told me that if he could not help him up when he grew up, he would never have to send it out. The money he left to him would be enough for his whole life... "

Over the years, due to the misunderstanding of Xiao Yi, this letter has been hidden in Lao min's arms.

Nangong Yue suddenly understood that although Lao min had always shown hostility and resentment towards Xiao Yi, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart and tried to believe Xiao Yi. Otherwise, the letter would have been gone!
